With a smile in the corner of his eyes, Zhao Qingzao began to cut a small bowl of pork intestines and a piece of pork liver.

First, put some lard in the pot, added some salt, refined it carefully, and then put it in a bowl, compared to the lard, the vegetable oil is a little rougher, and the cooking is not so soft.

Followed by the cooking of vegetables, the large intestine of the pig is very good to burn, after all, it has been marinated once, just increase the heat for a while, add a little sugar and sauce, and finally when it is served, the oil on it is a little bit, with green onions, it looks tender and delicious, and it is completely impossible to see that there is some black in the white flowers when you buy it back.

Before and after, after being busy for less than half an hour, the firewood was burned out twice, several dishes had been completely completed, and after cooking a little rice, Zhao Qingzao served all the dishes on the table.

Looking at the few side dishes he had cooked with satisfaction, Zhao Qingzao said to Shen Changting excitedly, "Let's eat." ”

"Good. ”

Although Shen Changting knew that Zhao Qingzao was busy, he didn't know what she was busy with, and when he came to the table, he looked at the pork liver soup on the table, as well as the red and tender pig intestines, and the spicy pork belly, and couldn't help but be stunned, and said, "You did this?"

"Of course. ”

Zhao Qingzao smiled a little proudly: "Look, this pig's large intestine has been washed and boiled in boiling water, so it should be marinated, fried over high heat, and added sauce and chili peppers, it looks delicious, right?"

As he spoke, he pointed to the pork liver soup and said, "This is the pork liver soup, the pork liver is fragrant and tender, and with a little green vegetable leaves, it is just right to go to the fire." ”

As for the pork belly, no matter how this thing is burned, as long as it is fried and the chili peppers are put in, it is very delicious, and there is no technical content, but unfortunately there are no garlic seedlings at this time, otherwise it is better.

After the introduction, he looked at Zhao Changting with a surprised look on his face, and hummed: "Don't look at those pigs in the water are worthless, but when they are burned, they are much better than buying pork, after all, we buy so much, and the cost is only the money of a pound of pork, but it is enough to eat for a long time, and the pig intestines are dried, which can be used with dried radishes and pickled together." ”

After that, Zhao Changting looked eager to try, and said with a smile: "Then you try it first." ”

"Good!"

Zhao Changting was really curious, so he immediately picked up the chopsticks and hurriedly picked up a piece of pig's large intestine and put it in his mouth.

The pig's large intestine is soft and not greasy, chewy, and a little spicy, which suddenly made him unable to stop his chopsticks and praised: "The taste is really good, it's rare that you still have this talent." ”

The country of foodies, there is only what you can't think of, and there is nothing you can't do!

Zhao Qingzao smiled secretly in his heart, and didn't explain much, but picked up the bowl, filled a bowl, and said, "You eat first, I'll give this to Grandma to taste." ”

In these years, the common people live very hard, if the pig can not be eaten, the only meat on weekdays is pork, but after all, pork is too expensive, and the family is reluctant to eat, the body is naturally poor, and the life is barely better, it is good to see meat once in half a month, and the luxury is to eat eggs at most twice.

Grandma Niu is actually not very old, but she is also an old lady, she takes a lot of care of Zhao Changting, which can be regarded as a life-saving grace, and Zhao Qingzao will naturally not be stingy.

When Zhao Qingzao brought the vegetables into Grandma Niu's house, before she could speak, she saw Grandma Niu running out with a surprised face and said, "What kind of smell is this, so fragrant?"

The dishes made by Zhao Qingzao, not to mention anything else, are really good in terms of fragrance, and Grandma Niu smelled it from afar.

"Grandma, it's my green dates, I made some dishes at noon and brought them to you to taste. Zhao Qingzao said, and put the bowl on the table.

Grandma Niu took a closer look and said with a look of surprise: "What is this, so fragrant?"

No one has eaten the large intestine of pigs in these years, and they don't know it.

Zhao Qingzao didn't care, and said with a smile: "This is the pig water I bought in the morning, I washed it, marinated it again, and burned it a little bit, you can taste it." ”

"This is made by pigs in the water?"

Grandma Niu looked sluggish, a little incredulous, smelled the fragrance, and subconsciously swallowed her saliva.

"yes, hehe, how's that, that's good. Zhao Qingzao proudly showed off, feeling that her old face was a little red, after all, she was old, and she was really ashamed to show off for this little thing, but her body age was there, so she could only follow the crowd.

"Mother, what does it smell like?"

At this time, Chu Xingshan also walked out, saw Zhao Qingzao, and saw a bowl of vegetables on the table, immediately understood, and smiled honestly: "Qingzao, did you send food?"

"Brother Chu is here, I haven't eaten it at noon, the pig I just bought in the morning is in the water, fried it with my hands, and I will give it to you to taste. ”

"Okay, the girl is too polite. ”

Chu Xingshan was very straightforward, and as he spoke, he pulled Grandma Niu and said, "Mother, come and have a taste." As he spoke, he took the chopsticks and took a piece of the pig's intestine.

"Hmm, it tastes so good!"

As he spoke, he gave Zhao Qingzao a thumbs up and said, "You are amazing, even pigs can be made so delicious, so amazing." ”

Grandma Niu couldn't resist Chu Xingshan, and felt that the smell was really fragrant, so she couldn't help but clip a piece, and then she was busy applauding.

"If you like it, hehe, we don't have any good things in our house anyway, and we can't afford to buy them if they're too good, so that's the only way. Zhao Qingzao spoke very modestly.

"That's enough. ”

Chu Xingshan opened his mouth with a big grin, patted his chest again as he spoke, and said: "When it is autumn, I will go into the mountains to hunt, and when the time comes, you will come to help me do it." ”

"Okay, I don't know anything else, it's barely okay to make food. ”

Zhao Qingzao nodded hurriedly, as a foodie, the prey of this year, but it is all natural, she is naturally willing to try it herself.

Whether it's good or not, but after all, it's just like that, she doesn't believe in her own skills, and she can't compare to the chefs of this year.

A few people were polite, and Zhao Qingzao saw that Grandma Niu wanted to keep her for dinner again, so she hurriedly refused: "No, it's cooked at home, Brother Changting is still waiting at home alone, I'll go back first." ”

No one is rich these days, and one meal doesn't seem to be much, but he can make do with it, and Zhao Qingzao doesn't want to rub rice.

"Okay. ”

Chu Xingshan did not continue to stay.

Zhao Qingzao rushed back in a hurry, pitiful, she had burned a table of dishes, she hadn't tasted it yet, she was used to a good life in her previous life, and she was very hard in Zhao's house during this time, and she would drool when she thought of delicious food now.

When Zhao Qingzao returned home, Shen Changting did not move the chopsticks first, but stared at her, which made her heart warm and smiled: "Why don't you eat first, I only ate so much in the morning, I was already hungry." ”

"It's okay, let's go together. ”

Shen Changting shook his head, he was used to being dull alone, and now it is rare to have Zhao Qingzao as a companion, although Zhao Qingzao was bought by him, but he has always been very polite to Zhao Qingzao.

What's more, after the run-in in the past few days, he also found that Zhao Qingzao is a person with ideas, and he is very good at housekeeping, so his attitude towards Zhao Qingzao is naturally getting better and better.

Zhao Qingzao smiled and didn't say anything, Shen Changting was very good to people, her heart was clear, so she simply stopped pretending, loaded a bowl of rice for Shen Changting, and served another bowl for herself, and the two of them were busy facing those plates of fragrant and delicious dishes, and started the big battle.

After eating, both of them felt that their stomachs were a little bulging.

Zhao Qingzao has been living a bitter life these days, and finally made a table of satisfactory dishes by herself, and she naturally eats a lot, and at this time she is growing her body, and she doesn't want to treat herself badly, not to mention that these dishes are really in line with her wishes, so she naturally can't stop.

As for Shen Changting, he doesn't know how to cook by himself at all, he relies on Grandma Niu on weekdays, what he eats, it is naturally a very rough meal, it is rare that now Zhao Qingzao has opened his eyes, and he naturally can't help it.

After a simple cleanup, Shen Changting was still resting and eating, and he didn't continue to copy books, Zhao Qingzao saw this, and simply sat down opposite him.

Now that her day is settled, at least in the short term, there is no possibility of any change, and she feels that there are some things that have to be discussed with Shen Changting.

After thinking about it, in the end, Zhao Qingzao spoke: "Brother Shen, I want to discuss something with you." ”

"What's the matter, tell me. Shen Changting opened his mouth very happily.

This meal made him very satisfied, and now he is in a good mood, and his speech is crisper than before.

Zhao Qingzao saw this, and immediately said: "I think you are too upright, too honest, and easy to be bullied, and now you want to live a good life, but you can't go on like this." ”

"En?" Shen Changting was stunned for a moment and said, "Say whatever you want, just say it." ”

"I'm thinking that my eldest brother's hand is too loose. ”

Zhao Qingzao finally didn't choose to take a detour, and said bluntly: "For the time being, I am with you, if the two of us want to live our lives, we can't be like before, you can't keep the money in the past, I think it's better to put all the money on me, I will help you watch, lest you be blackmailed like last time, and you will really have to drink the northwest wind when the time comes." ”

Shen Changting thought for a while, nodded and said, "What you said is also right. ”

Without hesitation, he took the money bag on his waist and handed it to Zhao Qingzao: "It's all here, you can keep it." ”

Shen Changting really doesn't mind at all, although he is a scholar, he is not pedantic, and after a few days, he can also see that as Zhao Qingzao said, he is a little bad at housekeeping.

Zhao Qingzao took it very generously, and took out the three taels of silver that he asked for from Aunt Jin Gui, put it on the table, looked at it, and said, "It's only more than four taels in total, big brother, you haven't made any money all these years." ”

She really didn't expect that Shen Changting would have such a small amount of money, she knew very well that Shen Changting's income, even if it was two taels of silver a month, excluding daily expenses, it would definitely be more than that.

"Well, there have been a lot of things going on lately, and I can't calm down, and after a while, I'll try to make money. Shen Changting was a little embarrassed, being said to be poor, this is indeed not a pleasant thing.

Zhao Qingzao knew that Shen Changting had misunderstood, and couldn't help crying and laughing: "It's not that I'm too little, but it's strange that your income is not low, and you can't save money, no wonder you usually live a tight life." ”

Saying that, Shen Changting was embarrassed, she smiled: "But it's not bad, four taels of silver, even if you don't do anything, you can ensure that you don't have to worry about food and clothing for at least two or three months, but you don't have to be in a hurry, you can be rich and safe." ”

One tael of silver in the first year is not a small amount, and a pair of pigs in the water is only three yuan, one or two thousand yuan, which can buy a bunch.

However, this made Zhao Qingzao feel more and more that he must collect the silver tightly, and Shen Changting's hand was too loose.

"Yes. ”

Shen Changting nodded, said a few words to Zhao Qingzao, and then returned to the room and continued to copy the book.

Zhao Qingzao was idle again, and there was nothing to do for a while, they were not like the locals in the village, and there were fields, they had to work every day, Shen Changting was an outsider, and he didn't have any land at all, plus he was weak, it was impossible to reclaim the wasteland, so he could only rely on copying books to survive, but fortunately, the job of copying books was very good, at least much better than farming.

"Looks like my luck isn't that bad. ”

Zhao Qingzao sighed, as she became more and more familiar with Shen Changting, she felt that she was really lucky.

When she first came back to life, facing the chaotic situation of the Zhao family, although she didn't say anything at the time, she was extremely angry in her heart, and finally didn't die, but she ended up falling into such a family again.

She even predicted her fate a long time ago, not to be sold, and in the end she would only be married by her parents casually, and then work hard all her life, if she is lucky, she will not be beaten to death by her father-in-law, and she can have children, but if she is unlucky, she may be divorced one day, or she will die in vain.

However, God did not treat her badly after all, so that she met Shen Changting, although Shen Changting was soft, upright and even a little confused, but fortunately, he had some knowledge, at least in work, and he was much more than others, and she didn't have to work hard all day long.

Although Shen Changting's body has been completed, I don't know if it can support it for a few years, but in the short term, it is no problem, as for the rest, you can slowly think of a way in the future, at least the start is very good.

Thinking like this, she simply followed Shen Changting into the room and said with a smile: "I'll sharpen the ink for you." ”

"Uh, good!"

Shen Changting was a little moved, sitting upright, his back straight, and he wrote with a pen.

And Zhao Qingzao was on the side, slowly adding water to the inkstone, and began to grind the grinding strip, while watching Shen Changting write.

Shen Changting writes very quickly, although the pen strength is good, how the words are, Zhao Qingzao is a little white, I can't see why, but Shen Changting's smooth sliding pen tip without stagnation, but it makes her feel that Shen Changting's basic skills are extremely solid.

One hour, Zhao Qingzao looked at it, and Shen Changting actually wrote more than a dozen pieces of paper, this speed surprised her.

She looked at the book, a book was just a blank page, and at Shen Changting's speed, it would probably take two days to finish copying.

Books are precious these years, copying a book, at least two taels to five taels of silver, this is not counting the money of the owner's reward, equivalent to the income of one or two silver a day, this month down......

After carefully calculating, Zhao Qingzao was really stunned, with such a ability to make money, even if she put aside her previous life, it was definitely the income of the white-collar class, she really couldn't understand why Shen Changting could be so down, and she felt more and more that Shen Changting was really too honest on weekdays.

Time is long, Zhao Qingzao is very leisurely grinding ink, although I don't know if Shen Changting has red sleeves and the feeling of adding fragrance, but she is not the slightest impatient, until she is a little sleepy and sleepy, she did not accompany her, and went back to the room to sleep.
